krehl / web

The website vault (vault.bitwarden.com).

The Bitwarden web project is an Angular application that powers the web vault (https://vault.bitwarden.com/).

Build/Run

Requirements

• Node.js v8.11 or greater

Run the app

For local development, run the app with:

npm install
npm run build:watch

You can now access the web vault in your browser at https://localhost:8080. You can adjust your API endpoint settings in src/app/services/services.module.ts by altering the apiService.setUrls call. For example:

await apiService.setUrls({
    base: isDev ? null : window.location.origin,
    api: isDev ? 'http://mylocalapi' : null,
    identity: isDev ? 'http://mylocalidentity' : null,
    events: isDev ? 'http://mylocalevents' : null,
});

If you want to point the development web vault to the production APIs, you can set:

await apiService.setUrls({
    base: null,
    api: 'https://api.bitwarden.com',
    identity: 'https://identity.bitwarden.com',
    events: 'https://events.bitwarden.com',
});

And note to run the app with:

npm install
npm run build:prod:watch

Common Issues:

CORS

If you run the frontend and receive a notification after attempting to login that says:

An error has occurred.
NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.

And in the console:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.bitwarden.com/accounts/prelogin. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).

This means that you are having a CORS header issue. This can be mitigated by using a CORS header changing extension in your browser such as this one.
